Can happiness be skill-based?

Happiness is at the core of human existence.
Pursuing happiness considerably shapes our lives: our decisions, relationships, and even careers.

What do you need to be happy?
This is an apparently easy and simple to tackle question. Or is it?

A core aspect of happiness is the perception of control over our circumstances.
We may not have complete control over what happens to us, but we do in how we respond. So, a core feature of happiness is the skills we develop that enable us to respond adequately to life events.

Since millions of people around the globe and across all business sectors discovered remote work, companies have been striving to maintain their appeal. It’s not just about salary or emotional compensation; the goal is to genuinely create a culture of well-being and happiness that makes people want to be part of the team. Because employees are people, and people need and deserve to be happy, these are very welcome paradigm shifts.

However, some are transforming the way companies discover this “market of happiness, and that is the mission of Happiness Camp, with which we are immensely proud to be associated.

Employee benefits for mental health: Support your employees and improve productivity

Mental health heavily impacts overall well-being and workplace productivity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression and anxiety cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion per year in lost productivity.

When employees face mental health challenges, it can lead to negative consequences for your business. For example, anxiety and stress can bring reduced concentration, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover.

That’s why proactively addressing mental health needs can generate substantial benefits for both your people and your organization. Employees with mental health support are more likely to stay focused, motivated, and happy. This translates to productive workforce and better performance for a business.

Preventive mental health care also helps avoid costly treatments and reduces overall healthcare expenses. That’s why at Remote, we offer Global Mental Health benefits in 83 countries in partnership with Oliva. Available to employers using our employer of record (EOR) services, this mental health benefit can increase your team’s happiness and productivity.

A supportive workplace culture that prioritizes mental health strengthens your company’s reputation, making it a more appealing place to work for top talent. If you want to start providing mental health benefits for your employees, chat with Remote today.
